Heya party people! What be shakin? I gotted boooredd….so I decided to write a new storyyyyyy! Harharharrrr [X
I looked down at the planet which, just a month ago, I lived on. The place where, a month ago, hadn't seemed like the place I did and didn't want to be on at the same time. I looked back at Zathura one last time and didn't say a word. She nodded and outstretched her arms in front of her. Suddenly, the air around me started to glow a very bright light. I shielded my eyes and prepared for my spirit to be put back into my dead body. I was being given one last chance to live my life the right way. This time would be different. I'd be more careful about who I hang out with, because I can say from experience, I don't want to go down that same path.
One month ago, I was merrily walking home from school in my living, breathing, literally down to earth self, when a creepy older dude walked up to me and asked me if I could do him a favor. I accepted. Not too much later, I would learn that was the biggest mistake of my life…..
He stabbed me. I fell to the floor, cold and lifeless. Right in front of my own home. My parents rushed out after the sound of my scream rang through their ears. They crouched down beside me and tears started pouring out. I tried getting up, but my body screamed no. Then I felt myself lifting away from them, farther and farther, yet I could still feel their hearts mourning for me. I saw my body lying there, cold, motionless and lifeless, and my heart fell. And, well, here I am. I closed my eyes tight. Once I opened them, I found that I was lying on something soft and cushiony. A bed. I sat up and looked around. I was….
Home?
"Huh? Where am I?" I spoke aloud. I heard gasps of joy. I looked over to my side to see my super-scientist mother at her lab station, my dad sitting in a chair at the foot of the bed, and my sister standing right by my side, gripping my hand tightly. My mother raced over to me and gave me just about one million kisses and hugs.
"Oh, honey! Oh my gosh, don't you ever scare me like that again!" My mother cried. I was confused.
"Wha…what happened?" I asked.
"Honey, don't you remember? We found you lying on the sidewalk, all bloodied. That man you accepted a favor from killed you. I was lucky enough to bring you back to life." Ok, now I'm really confused.
"What? You did? How?" I asked. My mother smiled.
"With my super-secret science." She explained. Oh. Well, that explains a lot. My mother is a scientist who thinks deep into the scientific theories of earlier scientists and made things they thought impossible, actually possible. She's a remarkable woman, really.
"Well, then, doesn't that mean I'm a zombie now?" I asked. I figured that if I died, then somehow magically attained life again, that means I'm the undead. A zombie.
"Smart! And yes, that's exactly what it means!" My mother chirped back. A blank expression took over my face.
"AWESOME!" I cheered. I'd always wanted to become a zombie, for some reason. I don't know.
"Wait….what do I say when I get back to school? That I came back to life?" I asked. Everyone laughed at me.
"Oh honey, we moved a week after you died! Remember? We were planning on moving? No one here knows you died. They just know there's a new student coming tomorrow." My mother explained. I had forgotten all about the move. My parents must have figured that moving away would relieve a little more depression and stress. I completely understand.
"So this HAS to be our family secret, ok? If people found out that the new girl is a zombie, they'd freak. No one tells." I explained quickly. Everyone agreed. I smiled and gave them all a group hug.
"I'm so happy to be alive." I said softly.
The next day, i walked inside the school building and looked around with excitement.
"Hey, Kristi, who's your friend?" Someone asked as they approached my sister in the hall.
"Oh, this is my sister. She's been away for the past two weeks on…..ummm…..rehab, from….uhhh…." My sister started to explain, but couldn't think of an excuse.
"Rehab for severely breaking my leg! Yeah, it was so bad they had to send me away on rehab." I finished. The person nodded
"Well, you'll like it here at Mississippi Hights. Great school. My name's Suz." Then she patted my shoulder and walked off, waving to my sister on her way. I shrugged and continued walking.
"So where's locker 294?" I asked my sister. Her face lit up.
"Oh, that's right next to mine! Awesome!" She answered. I smiled. At least I could stick around with at least one person I know.
"Sweet!" I responded. I held up an index card with the combination to my new locker before attempting an opening.
"42 left, 12 right, 3 left." I whispered to myself as I was putting in the combo. After I successfully put it in, I opened the locker and started filling in all my books. I put them in so they were all nice and organized, so I never lose or forget something. On my door I put a white board, calendar, mirror and pencil pouch for extra utensil storage. I grabbed the books I needed for my next few classes and shut my locker door.
"Alright, ready to get started? There's a lot of info to take in about this school." My sister asked. I nodded.
I was on my way now.
Chapter 1 for you! Sorry it's so short; I have to go to a banquet in a few minutes. Not much time and it seemed like a good place to stop. It is a very supernatural story! But I had to! The idea was in my head for FOREVERRR! Had to get it out. Plus, I love zombies. I wish I were a zombie! Review!
